&quot;Spread sprinkles of love and peace everywhere. For happiness in every corner.&quot; -By me<br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t let your past dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become.&quot;- My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Let the past be the past
With all the pain and sorrow
Let the river wash away my past
Leaving nothing but a clear past
Let the wind make me look forward
'Cause the past would lead me into tears
Let the stars shine upon my head
And make all my tears erase away
Let the night sky
Close my eyes knowing
Everything is going to be alright
Let butterflies fly around me
And place happiness in my heart
Let the days pass by with tears of joy
Reminding me the future is clear
Let my heart forget
And let the past be the past
